ARCHIVED - When did we vote for this??

I don't ever remember seeing a bunch of threads complaining the Auto Rifles needed to be nerfed, so why Bungie, [b]WHY?[/b]
Edit:
To everyone on here agreeing with the decision that Bungie made regarding the ARs, hand cannons, and pulse rifles, please watch dattodoesdestiny on YouTube. Specifically the stream where he plays the Iron Banner for the first time...
For those of you too lazy to do so, here you go...

Edit #2:
For all those that thought it was OP and needed a nerf, watch this please...
An AR exist for every situation, especially when going against another AR...

I liked it how it was, besides the hand cannons. It added another element to the game in terms of obtaining equipment. If you got a scout or pulse rifle that was a higher level, or did more damage than your previous gun, you would use it because it was better, but you would continue to try to get an auto rifle.

Bungie is becoming the Apple of the gaming industry. They'll make sure they're always one step ahead of the game, making sure we can get the best experience out of the game possible. They're going to balance the gaming mechanics out so that our weaponry will seem realistic in damage to the enemies we'll face, and I really like the idea of nerfing some weapons.

Great.. if this was originally planned by Bungie to change the auto rifle i am fine with it but if they actually went to change something about it because some stuck up kid crying about it i will get really pissed off. i don't give a dam long fart about how bad or good i am in pvp with whatever weapon or stat it has, it is all about your own skills and not the weapons. So i am fine if Bungie planned this but if your complaints about op and nerf made them do it then get lost you don't deserve to play a game if you are going to ruin the pve fun of the rest of us. So again if this was Decided by Bungie earlier i am sorry for my rant but if not my rage stays concentrated on complainers.

Shut up and let them do what they do. They are making the game, not you. I for one am sick of crying ass communities, buff this, nerf that, my ass is bleeding blah blah blah.
I watched this happen in Battlefield for the last 8 months. LevelCrap says something is OP, so all his viewers watch and then start using that weapon, then the community cries OP and it gets nerfed. Then the same damn thing happens with something else.
Bungie plays the same game we do. They don't need your input, my input, or any input whatsoever from so called MLGimps and whoever else.
They have a vision, they know balance.
Quit crying and play the game.

We didn't. People cried about the AR because they got owned.
I could care less, but it did see a tad bit too much use in the Crucible. I preferred HC and I got wrecked, so I'm more glad than not about the changes

I agree there was no need for the auto rifle to be nerfed. But people complain about things all the time. Just because you are killed by someone using the auto rifle doesn't mean it is overpowered it means you need to step up your game.

just watch when we kill abunch with the shot gun and the SMG and the LMG ... there gonna complain that there over powerd bc they cant get a kill and they have no skill...................................................... yes bad spelling correct troll's

well since you don't have any actual data to review and backup your argument,I suggest you don't play the game if you're gonna constantly whine about it. I don't even remember any official polls they made asking the ignorant gamers' (yes that includes you and l) dumb decisions about the AR.

We voted during the Beta. When Bungie was carefully watching and collecting data and seeing how everything played. This was not done as a part of some community outcry for justice. This was a carefully measured and approached step taken by professionals who spent hundreds of hours doing research on literally thousands and thousands of games. Our skills, or lack there of, weapon choice, scores, and abilities cast the vote.

Who said all of the changes came from us?
Bungie stated that the beta was an obsolete build and some of the balance whining such as the interceptor was expected as they had already tweaked balance from internal play testing.
Get off your high horse and quit yer whining! We haven't played the game yet!

[quote]When did we vote for this??[/quote]
We waited for you to step out and buy some smokes and some dude was all like "Quick, that noob with the OP AR is gone--let's vote to nerf it!"
And then you woke up from that dream where game development is a democracy where all decisions are voted on by the consumer, thus all games are crap.

Why bungie why? You shldnt listen to the kids that bitch about everything in the game its not you fault that they -blam!-en suck. the game shldnt be nerfed for shitty players that's their problem. they need to quit bitching their already ruining the game and its not even out yet like really quit bitching your a shitty player deal with it don't ruin the game for the rest of us that like it the way it was
